Question replacing side markers

Do anyone know where I can get instruction on how to replace the orange side markers with the white ones? Is there a site that has them or has anyone replaced them themself? HELP!
How about relpacing the organe interior lights with blue bulbs like in the new Jettas? Anyone got info on this?

umm... what car do you have? GS? IS?

yeah you can get the clear side marker. ebay, some online shops, etc... i am in cali so i can find them very easy. they should be about 20 to 30 bucks at most.

to change it on the GS, just take out your fogs and get access to the bolts from there. easy. there is a diy on that already, if you are a paid member you will get all those information

for IS, i don't know how to change it yet. i am sure you can get the info from .net.

I must imagine it comes with some instructions....why dont you email the person you bought it from if instructions are included. I dont think any CL member can answer that question for you.

If not...maybe he/she can talk you thru it.

nah there will be no instruction. you need to take off and pull back the plastic flap inside the wheel well (turn the wheels to have better acess) and go from there, very easy

Default side markers

Do I have to take off the front bumper? Or can I acces them form the wheel well? Also will the blub be yellow too, or will it be clear/white?

no you don't have to take off the bumper, just access it from inside the front wheel wells, very easy, 20 mins thing. and the bulbs inside it's going to be still yellow. you need to get new bulbs for it, i believe they are polarg m4.

i also have an is3 besides my gs4, so as soon as i start modding my car i will start doing all the diy for you guys
